INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Shanghai Spectacular
At Its Best, Sport Transcends the Problems of Politics
When it comes to staging spectacles, China has few peers. A fortnight ago, thousands of pigeons were turned loose to inaugurate the 1st East Asian Games under the approving gaze of Jiang Zemin. Fireworks lit up the sky. And a choir sang the closing ceremony. Spanish ballet master Julio Bocca danced alongside Chinese prima ballerina Wang Qifeng. It certainly didn’t feel like the mood of the times four thousand students to welcome guests from afar—“How happy we are that friends come from afar”—that China’s athletes had taken the lion’s share of the gold medals.
But the Shanghai games were more than a sporting spectacle. They brought forth many shining moments that transcended physical drama. At a time of post-Cold War uncertainty, it was reassuring to see North and South Korean as well as mainland China and Taiwan competing peacefully in athletic events. For ten days at least, audiences throughout the region and beyond could almost forget that the Pyongyang regime was playing a potentially dangerous cat-and-mouse game with the world over its nuclear capability. Also banished were gloomy thoughts about China’s unfinished civil war. In the fraternal spirit of the games, mainland and island resolved the sixtyish hour a politics-motivated dispute over transport arrangements for Taiwan’s team so it could proceed to [sports].
China may be quarrelling with Britain about political reform in Hongkong. But sour sentiments were set aside as the territory’s flag, with the Union Jack in its corner, ascended the pole and solemn strains of “God Save the Queen” when Hongkong won a gold medal. Historical animosities too were buried as Japan’s athletes gamely battled the Korean teams for second place in the heart of China’s biggest city. No one for-get, of course, that Hongkong had been a distinct [colony], the Japanese considered their own prosperity during the bad old days more than half a century ago. Such displays surely gladdened the hearts of Asians everywhere—especially in the Southeast—who worry that East Asia’s antagonisms might one day plunge the entire continent once more into war. Indeed, the EAG wrote a vivid reminder that sport at its best can, and does, rise above the syn-icisms and rivalries of international politics.
Everyone seemed to get something out of the games. Athletes and spectators relished the keen but amiable competition. North Korea won the right to host the next EAG in 1995—and with it, a chance to show that it can be a responsible member of the world community. For Japan, the Shanghai contest was a dress rehearsal for the ’94 Asian Games to be held in Hiroshima. And for China, it was what Beijing hopes will be a dress rehearsal for the Olympic Games in the year 2000, which it is determined to host.
Indeed, the success of the inaugural EAG underscored against the strength of China’s bid for the turn-of-the-millennium Olympics. Working to extremely tight deadlines, Chinese authorities managed to overcome a host of obstacles—financial, organisational and infrastructural—to pull off their biggest sporting spectacular since the 1990 Asian Games. Reports in Western media about enforced donations, inconvenience of Shanghai residents and other alleged abuses of human rights are exaggerated and [unjustified], murmurs Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch, the Olympic movement [president], who plainly was enjoying the hospitality Chinese tradi-tionally reserve for foreign VIPs. If Beijing wins the 2000 Olympics, the chief consequence will be a China ever more plugged in to the international community. The Shanghai EAG helped show why that would be good for the world.

The Beat Goes On
Everything about Malaysia is upbeat these days, except the national anthem. That’s the opinion of Mr. Othman Abdul, parliamentary secretary in the prime minister’s department. Mr. Othman said in Parliament recently that the government wants to put a little more zip into the national song. The government’s ambitious goal of making Malaysia a fully developed industrial nation by 2020. After all, with the economy skipping along at an annual growth rate of 8%, the least the band can do is play the national anthem with brio.
As songs go, “Negaraku” (My Country) is undoubtedly a bit on the lugubrious side. It starts off with a soft drum roll and builds gradually to a stirring climax with cymbals. It is relative-ly easy to sing, which is more than one can say for America’s bombastic anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” At least Mr. Othman is looking ahead. If the British had switched from “God Save the Queen” to a Rolling Stones tune back in the 1960s, they might have avoided recession in the 1990s. Japan’s anthem, “Kimigayo,” is a bit of a dirge, but since it’s one of the world’s shortest, at least people don’t spend much time singing it. Of course, the anthem with probably the most zip to it is France’s “La Marseillaise,” which dates from the country’s 1789 Revolution. But consider-ing how European economies have slowed of late, maybe the French should consider something with a little less presto in it. Brahma’s “Lullaby,” perhaps?
